John learned how to say his name.

John has some problems with his speech. When he was almost 3 I asked the pediatrician when to worry. I was starting to worry because he was starting to talk louder if he was not being understood. She said that most kids should be understandable by most adults by the time they are three and at that point she would refer him to speech therapy. He couldn't say his consonants. So instead of mommy it would sound like ummy. Most of the time I could understand what he was talking about because I had been with him all day and knew the context of his comments. Dad had a hard time, and often I did also. But Jeff always knew what he was talking about so I would often ask Jeff what John was saying. He had speech 2 x a week for a number of years. The speech therapist was impressed that he had such good language skills,but he had apraxia, and there was just a disconnect between his brain and his tongue.
He was in about 3rd grade when he could finally say that his name was "John" instead of "On", so since he could make the Ju sound we went to Target and bought him a GI JOE!
